Opis: The Epistles of Erasmus, Vol. 2 of 2 - Nichols Francis Morgan

Excerpt from The Epistles of Erasmus, Vol. 2 of 2: From His Earliest Letters to His Fifty-First Year Arranged in Order of Time, English Translations From His Correspondence, With a Commentary Confirming the Chronological Arrangement and Supplying Further Biographical Matter

Some time since, the compiler of the following pages, having had his attention attracted to the correspondence of Erasmus, was struck by the observation, that a book of no little interest to his countrymen might be put together by an English editor, who would take the pains to pick out, - from the long series of mixed epistles of various dates included in the several printed collections, - the letters of Erasmus's earlier years, when so much of his life was spent in this country, and present them to the English reader, arranged in order of time, with selected translations in his own tongue. A volume designed upon this plan, and published by the present writer in 1901, contains an account of the correspondence of Erasmus from his earliest letters to an important epoch in his life, when, - upon receiving at Rome the news of the demise of King Henry VII. of England, which took place on the 21st of April, 1509, - he was induced by the advice of his friends, and by his own sanguine expectations, to hasten back to this country in order to profit by the liberal spirit, which seemed to be imparting a new character to the new reign.
